This is a really good effort. My father had my family's 8mm & Super 8 transferred to DV about 10 years ago. The quality was just okay. This is absolutely amazing. He sort of talked about it, but one of the issues is the frame rate mismatch when trying to capture with a DSLR set to video (or video camera). Also, I would like to know what extra lens was used for the pi.

I took a look at his wiki to see if this information (extra lens used) was mentioned. There is a section on Parts Selection [1] which mentions a discussion about the Pi Camera and Lens [2] but that only sends me to a blank page.

Maybe he will update it with more information in the future.
